I had the same problem, getting no bloat report. I tested just now
running as root, and got bloat measurements in
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/6166098 and
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/6166295
From Firefox, I get somewhat higer latency (~100 ms) versus ~20-60 ms
via the command line client:

http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/6130727
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/6130708
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/6130690
Two things to note:
- Firefox tests were run yesterday at around lunchtime (~12.00 CET),
and CLI tests just now (~06.40 CET). So time-of-day effect may be a
reason for less bloat now. I'll do a better comparison when I get to my
desktop.
- CLI tests were run in a docker container, for security purposes. I
used host networking so it should not have affected measurements much,
but still. This was how it was executed:
// downloaded the dslreports cli tool to my host /tmp directory, mapping
/tmp to /host in the debian container
$ docker run --rm -t -i -v /tmp:/host:ro debian
root@db0ea060caa7:/# apt-get update ; apt-get install ca-certificates
[... snip ...]
root@db0ea060caa7:/# /host/dslrcli-linux-amd64

A better option would be using CAP_NET_RAW, I'll see if this works
instead of running with full root privs.

It has to run as root / Admin in order to do ICMP in order to test
buffer bloat.
If you run it under a non privileged user account it cannot get
permission for ICMP, so although it locates the nearest servers using
http ping, it isn't doing any buffer bloat testing.
I'm not sure that is the issue but that's the first thing that comes
to mind..

This does not seem to be reporting any bloat info (I've run it a
couple times)
